A Methodology for the Micro-Analysis of Tourism Attractions
Journal Title: Geographia Napocensis - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
A Methodology for the Micro-Analysis of Tourism Attractions –The current article offers a methodology to assess the attractiveness of tourism attractions, deemed better suited to be used in a strategic planning process. After explaining the differences between tourism resources, tourism attractions and tourism facilities, the focus turns towards the analysis of tourism attractions (a micro-level, attraction-based analysis, as opposed to a macro-level, territorial-based approach). The article divides tourism attractions into two categories – primary and secondary, and offers four specific evaluation criteria for each: uniqueness, collectible value, permanence and notoriety - for primary attractions, and compatibility, substitutability, spatial proximity and connectivity - for secondary attractions. Last, but not least, the utility of this approach is explained, underlining the fact that the evaluation of tourism attractions can help identify problems and suggest solutions for maximizing the tourism potential of a destination.
